Mother's Day


Today was the most wonderful Mother's day. It was my 4th Mother's Day with Carley and my 1st with Corey. I could not stop thanking the Lord for my precious family. Cody could not have been more kind, thoughtful, and generous. Carley could not have been sweeter and more excited for me and Corey could not have been more slobbery and sweet. The Lord answered our prayers for another child and I loved starting the morning worshiping the Lord who did not give us up and gave us Carley and Corey.I came out of the shower to this guy sitting in the middle of the floor banging on his gift and holding a huge Elmo card. Cody and Corey surprised me with an IPOD player and radio. I had no idea Cody did this for me.
Then Carley came around the corner, fresh out of the shower herself, with the most precious necklace and a card. The pictures do not do my necklace justice and I couldn't figure out how to take one with good lighting but no flash or glare off the necklace. It is gold and stamped with the kids' names and then it has their birthstones in dangles. I absolutely love it.
We went to church and sat with my wonderful parents and then had lunch with them. If anyone deserves a Mother's Day, it is my sweet mom who is the MOST thoughtful, generous, gentle, and loving woman I know. I am SO very thankful for her and that my kids get to have such a precious Nana.

Tonight we had dinner with the Spann family and celebrated Grammy Oleta. She has been a wonderful mother to Cody and choose to love him as her son. We are so thankful for Grammy and the light and joy she is in our lives.
